Shaving Cream!!!!

Hello pre-tot families! It’s been a little bit of a cloudy and windy morning but it didn’t last very long, before we knew it the sun was out and shining on us all. We had lots of new toys, shovels and balls on the playground this morning; combine that with all the new sand we have in our sandbox and you’ve got yourself some very happy children. Noah got to play with one of our new bouncy balls and was throwing and kicking it. Genevieve also played with one of the new bouncy balls and would throw it in the air and then run after it. Kai picked up one of the shovels and attempted to dig a hole in the ground; however the ground was a bit hard to break through. Wynn spent a lot of time playing in the kangaroo climber and going down the slide several times. Olive brought out her cookie monster doll and showed it to all of her friends; then she asked me to hold on to him while she went and played in the sandbox. Clara also played in the sandbox and practiced pouring sand into small containers. Ancel spent the entire day with the toddlers! Dom told me that he has been having a blast in there.

Afterwards, we all decided to have our snack outside; picnic style. We washed the kiddo’s hands and then sat them all down on our blanket to enjoy some delicious bananas. During snack we decided to also have our circle time. First we sang the hello song and then we talked about all the different body parts we have learned so far.

Once we were done with snack we continued with more outside play. Shortly after we were joined by our good friend Sophie who had just came from a check-up with the doctor. Then Miss Arielle brought out some shaving cream for our sensory activity. Wynn, Noah, Clara and Sophie loved this activity! They seemed to have so much fun squishing and rubbing the shaving cream all over the little yellow table. We also showed them how they can also draw and make pictures in the shaving cream. We then got them all cleaned up and ready to go inside for lunch.

During lunch we went over the days of the week and sang our days of the week song. Then we counted the number of days. We also talked about body parts that we have gone over and had the kiddos point to each body part that we mentioned. We also practiced our animal sounds.

After nap, we all headed over to the tables to have our afternoon snack. Miss Leona was out again today unfortunately because she is sick. We hope she feels better soon and hope to see her next week.

After snack we prepared to do our stamp art activity. Some of our friends wanted to go outside so Miss Arielle took them out to the deck while Kai and Genevieve stayed in with me. Kai and Genevieve did extremely well with the stamp activity and stamped their entire page.

Tomorrow we will be doing a sensory activity using felt and an art activity using paint. We will also continue to go over all the body parts we have learned so far. For tomorrow the key body part is shoulders.

See you guys tomorrow!
